What’s wrong with this picture?

March 5th, 2007

Last weekend I installed Virtual PC 2007 on my new Dell XPS M1710 Code Red Special Edition and have been trying to get all my tools installed in there on XP Professional. Why? Because i have Vista Ultimate loaded on the new box and as we all know, Microsoft decided not to support VS.Net 2003 on Vista. My full-time job requires me to build apps on 1.1 framework and i have no choice but to use Visual Studio 2003.

Anyways, so i download Virtual PC 2007 (download free from MS) and install it and i must say, it was pretty fast! And smooth. And then i installed Visual studio and VSS 2005 on it. Visual studio was painless and easy (surprised again).

But Visual Source Safe asked me to install XP Service pack 2 as a prerequisite. No problemo. Installed SP2 followed by VSS 2005 and voila! Here’s the message i get for successful installation.

Check out the pic below and tell me what’s wrong with the picture.

    Hey,

    It says Visual Studio setup is complete but you were installing Visual Source Safe.

    I have no idea about the error message, but sweet new machine! Have any plans to bring it in for a Geniant gaming session anytime in the near future? >:-)

    Albert, Congratulations! You got it right! Find your coupons on your desk.

    I can’t believe 3 techies (you know them) got it wrong before you. One of them worked at MS before. You’d think it is an obvious one…eh?

    Keith, you know i’m not a gamer. But oh well, i’ll be willing to rent it for some quick moolah ;)
